March 2025: Stronger Protections for Referees Ahead!

Parents & HEFC Community,

Please be aware that in March 2025, U.S. Soccer's updated Referee Abuse Prevention Policy (Policy 531-9) takes effect. This policy update includes clearer definitions for physical and non-physical abuse and stronger suspensions for reported referee abuse.

Hendricks Elite FC wants parents to take the time and learn these policies. Remember this is a game and your child is watching. A lot of these referees are members of your community.

Information about this policy update can be found at indianasoccer.org.
